Look out for etchings of this board on the stone floors and walls at historic sites and temples. It is believed that in the past, workmen and stray visitors carved these game boards, so they could play and pass the time. For instance, the board is drawn on the parapet inside the mahadwara of the Chamundeshwari temple atop Chamundi Betta (hill) in Mysore, Karnataka.
Two people can play this Game. One person is the goat (Defender) and the other is the tiger (Challenger).
Game involves concentration, skill and strategy. It is interesting to note that the goat, although the weaker animal can defeat the tiger, when all the goats team up together.Contents
